ITE Steering Committee Meeting!

MAY 21, 2020 - 1pm PDT

(meeting will be held online)

The ITE Workgroup is very pleased to announce the creation of a best practices document for remote interpreting in educational settings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that all educational services have had to make an overnight switch to remote communications.

1 in 5 Americans report speaking a language other than English at home. They cannot be left out of the criticial communications between schools and families.

This document is one way we want to support schools and their hard-working linguists as they learn how to communicate over telephonic and video platforms. Download, use and share widely!
